An impetuous princess discovers that her reckless choice has put both her family and her father's kingdom in peril in this animated adventure from Pixar films. As a toddler, Merida (voice of Kelly MacDonald) saw her father, King Fergus (Billy Connolly), do battle with one of the fiercest animals in the kingdom -- a horribly scarred hulk of a bear named Mordu. Though Fergus lost his leg defending his family, Merida and her mother, Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson), managed to escape the beast before it vanished back into the forest. Years later, Merida has grown up to become not just a skilled archer, but also a beautiful princess who inspires a competition among the eligible bachelors in the land. But Merida has little interest in getting married, and the harder her mother pushes the issue, the more fiercely she resists it. When the tournament for her hand gets under way and a deep divide opens between mother and daughter, Merida makes a wish that threatens the future of both her family and the entire kingdom. Now, with only a brief window of time to set things right, Merida must summon the courage to atone for her mistake and prevent a past tragedy from destroying any hope for a peaceful future. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

November 29, 2012................It's about a princess who doesn't want to get married, so she gets a spell from a witch, very bad idea..........now her Mother is a bear. Very entertaining and enjoyable to watch.

I guess I was expecting too much with all the hype this Pixar film received. It is cute, has humorous parts, and has a great moral lesson. My husband and I enjoyed this film, but some of the other Pixar films were much better.

Verry disappointing. We really wanted to like this movie! Starts out cute but there's no depth to the plot. What a yawner.

    Another winner from Pixar! The princess Merida is a teen with a mind of her own, struggling against her mom's constant lessons on how to behave. When she is being forced to marry, she runs off and meets a witch. Buys a spell to change her mother and it unexpectedly turns her mom into a bear. Merida has to keep everyone from killing her mom while trying to break the spell. There's a bit of fun to her trying to teach her mom to fish like a bear - but also moments where the mom stops being mom as a bear, and becomes just a dangerous bear for a bit. AWESOME animation -- happy to have another story for the girls to encourage non-princess behavior (sports, independance etc.) instead of looking pretty and marrying a prince to live happily ever after - not so big on the give your mom a spell idea - but lessons are learned and all is well in the end. The 3 little redheaded boys are cute and fun little devils. The accents make this a little bit hard to understand. A good movie!

    Although we enjoyed the film that had excellent animation, the story follows the time honored Disney formula and is predictable. The title was also questionable. Good family fare.

    The movie was a bit slow-moving. Our granddaughters said it was ok but not one of their favorites. The moral of the story was good demonstrating what happens when you don't listen to your parents, and to be careful what you wish for because you actually might get it.
